In 2013 three men decided to take a stand a gainst child abuse. Not only did they commit to cycle from Johannesburg to Cape Town to raise awareness, but they also agreed to reach out to rural communities by speaking at schools on the way. Matla A Bana has hosted this event 8 times since then.
Mike Henning, a recently retired member of the South African Police Service, will be cycling 1600km on a mountain bike, unaccompanied and unsupported to create awareness of the plight of children in South Africa and also to raise funds for Matla A Bana – A voice against child abuse.
Departing on 19 February 2022 from Johannesburg and hopefully arriving in Cape Town 18 days later. Together with survivor BEAR he will be sharing messages of protection with the community.
